History Film / ShowMeLove

* EnterStageWindow: Elin, wanting to apologise to Agnes, tosses pebbles at her window. The first time she does so, there's no incident, but later on in the film when she does the same thing again, she breaks the window.

* OddFriendship: Only PopularityFoodChain could explain why NiceGuy Johan would hang out with a {{Jerkass}} like Markus.* PairTheSpares: By the way they smile at each other and Jessica previously saying how a nice guy he is, it's likely that she and Johan would end up together.

* ReallyGetsAround: Everyone thinks this about Elin, and Johan's surprised when she's actually a virgin.

* ReallyGetsAround: Everyone thinks this about Elin, and Johan's surprised when she's actually a virgin. See the SlutShaming entry.

Added DiffLines:

* SingleGirlSeeksMostPopularGuy: Likely the main reason Jessica dates Markus, despite liking him less and less. ** Outsider Agnes being after popular girl Elin is the queer example.* SlutShaming: Elin has quite the reputation for [[UrbanLegendLoveLife being promiscuous]], despite being only 14 and never actually seen going beyond flirting. Johan is rather surprising to find out she was a virgin after their first time.

* SmallTownBoredom: Elin, hardcore. One reason she drops the title of the film.

* SmallTownBoredom: Elin, hardcore. One reason she drops the title of the film. Unfortunately, while the concept gets a good treatment in overall dialogue and character arcs, it's slightly marred by what seems to be big-city misconceptions about Swedish small-town life. To facilitate production, the film was actually shot in Trollhättan, a town that is five times larger and much more like a real city: this is ''not'' what a small town looks like in Sweden (for one thing, bridges like the one in the film are very rare).

** At her unwanted party, Agnes throws a fit at Viktoria, insulting her and even picking on her because she's disabled. Her parents call her out on it, and she later tries to apologize. Viktoria refuse to forgive her, mostly because it's true what Agnes said: They never liked each other, and they both knew it. They were "friends" because no-one else wanted them.

* DoubleEntendre: The kids chanting for Elin to "come out" of the bathroom* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Markus spends some time comparing the size of his phone to other guys'.** They brag about how ''small'' their phones are.

* NowWhat: The ending deliberately leaves many plot threads hanging (like [[spoiler:how coming out of the ([[IncrediblyLamePun water]]) closet affects the balance of power, or how Jessica will react upon finding out. Or if Jessica and Johan end up together--it is implied that she breaks up with Markus]])

* SpurnedIntoSuicide: Agnes over Elin's cruelty to her. It's not really a wholehearted attempt, and Elin interrupts it.** Given her method, it's more likely Agnes was taking her emotions out on herself through cutting rather than really attempting suicide.

* VomitIndiscretionShot: After drinking most of a bottle of wine (straight out of the bottle) at the WildTeenParty, Elin runs to the bathroom and pukes into the toilet, in close-up.** Her behaviour immediately afterward implies that she was doing this as an excuse to leave early. It's never revealed how much she drank, and she likely faked the vomiting, as she never says anything about being drunk.* WhatTheHellHero: At her unwanted party, Agnes throws a fit at Viktoria, insulting her and even picking on her because she's disabled. Her parents call her out on it, and she later tries to apologize. Viktoria refuse to forgive her, mostly because it's true what Agnes said: They never liked each other, and they both knew it.
